Abstract :
A method for feeding the elements of an antenna array with a lossy transmission line section is presented. Four examples showing the applicability of the method are given. The behavior of the system in a frequency band around the design frequency is studied. Besides changes of physical length, changes in the frequency bandwidth of the antennas are observed
